Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will remain the “chief leader” of the Shiv Sena, it was decided at its first national executive meeting held in Mumbai on Tuesday evening.
State industries minister Uday Samant made the announcement about the resolutions passed in the meeting.
The Election Commission of India last week recognized the Shinde faction as the real Shiv Sena, and allotted it the poll symbol of the party: the bow and arrow.
